Last time I saw "consumer grade" satellite internet, you sent the outbound packets via dial-up. =P
I haven't seen that since they started using Ka band systems, which were put into use in 2000. Still atrociously expensive and their transfer caps make time warner look like saints.

So trotting out the federal constitution is not particularly relevant here, as this is a municipal project and a ruling (or lack thereof. They declined to hear the case) by the state supreme court. Look to the Minnesota state constitution.
Actually, according to all I've heard about this, this will not have any tax dollars put to it. It's financed off non-government bonds, which it will pay back through its own profits.
Something like "it doesn't show weird ass icons and bars when Slashdot decides to change CSS" is probably much more important. Firefox 3 totally screws up Slashdot in Default mode.
Being as I get the exact same behavior on firefox (3.0.11), IE (6, 7, and 8), safari, and opera, I somewhat doubt it's firefox's fault.
Canadian Maple Leaves carry a larger than average premium over other gold coins. I'm not sure why
That's easy. The maple leaf is made from 24kt (99.99% pure) gold. Most other bullion coins like the American gold eagle and krugerrand are 22kt (91.67%).
It's not a fucking homeopathy substance, dumb ass.
They advertise it as such and it does meet the (flawed) legal criteria to be considered a homeopathic substance.
It's "2x" on the homeopathic scale, which means it's diluted 100:1. And there's plenty of substances that are still quite potent at that dilution. Hell, I can think of a few drugs which would be effective at 100,000:1 dilution.
Actually, the concentration in this stuff falls into the range where it does qualify as homeopathic, but it does actually do stuff. it's "2X" on the scale, or diluted 100:1. Weak on the homeopathic scale ("the more dilution, the stronger it is"), but in the real world, it's sufficient to be effective (at fucking things up, but effective nonetheless). how many medications do you know of where the dosage is measured in micrograms and would have effect at even 1,000,000:1 dilution? I can think of at least 3.
Actually, I believe I remember reading (I forget where, possibly reader's digest) about some compound in dark chocolate that is a highly effective cough suppressant, supposedly better than codeine.
No it isn't, because one of your other options is gold without the 30% premium
Only if you're buying in large quantity.
For example, spot price of gold is currently $936/ounce. More readily purchasable gold bullion coin (using the 1oz Canadian gold maple leaf as an example) is currently priced at $1078/ounce, which is a 15% markup. and now consider these are selling in 1/30th that quantity and the markup is higher. Compare a 1 kilo (32.15oz) bar of gold, which currently costs $31,396, or $976/oz, which is only a 4% markup.
As usual, buying in bulk is cheaper, provided you have the money to do that.
According to the CIA world factbook, the current male:female ratio of the world population is 1.01:1. If anything, the local imbalance in China/India/etc. is countering out an opposite imbalance just about everywhere else. For example, in Canada and the UK, the ratio is 0.98, the US has 0.97, and Russia has 0.86 (How's that for convenient? A country with a male shortage and a country with a female shortage right next to each other). China and India both have 1.06.
According to my UPS's monitoring software, by machine idles (screen off with torrents running) at 180W and hits 210W with folding@home (GPU edition on my 8800GTS) running, 30W extra. Assuming it does that 24 hours a day (it's always on anyway as it also runs as my FTP/web server and for remote access), that comes to 21.6KW-hr per month, which at local electrical rate (9.6 cents/KW-hr) comes to $2.07 per month.

No, the leading cause of that is forgetting to set the formatting mode to "plain old text" rather than "HTML formatted".

FF memory usage rises to the point where my machine crawls to a stop, and I have to kill FF with the task manager.
And what is that point? How many MB?

Depends on what you mean by "richest". In raw GDP, no question. But per capita, the US ranges from 10th to 17th depending on who you ask.
Green Day claims to be so socially progressive but here they are waiting to collect $80,000 for one song from a mother of four.
1. I have yet to hear of any of the artists receiving any of the money from settlements or judgments.
2. In all likelihood, they don't own the copyright to any of their songs. It's all signed away to the record company.
They all contains the 1oz, but the purer gold is more fungible. It's easier to alloy than it is to refine.
How do you define "their network"? You could go coast to coast and never leave AT&T's (or Qwest's or Verizon's) "network".

IIRC, IIS isn't installed by default. I had to install it manually when I was installing virtualPC, which requires it for whatever reason.

I tend to use "interesting" for that.
One would think a person would take that as a clue that the rabbit ears are inadequate to their situation and get a real antenna.
